Social Links Wordpress Plugin
The Social Links Wordpress plugin is a sidebar widget that displays icon links to your profile pages on other social networking sites. You can see it in action here on the right hand side of my blog.
Installation Instructions:
|
Networks

Update: I’m currently in the process of updating the plugin for Wordpress 2.9. No end date in mind yet, but I’ve got all the functionality already in place. Just cleaning up the UI a bit and refactoring the code.
Upcoming Features:
- Ability to select any icon from an icons folder and enter any title and url to go with it. Manage available networks on your own! . Just upload the icon and its available to select.
- Open in new window(already done)
Known Issues:
- Long links are truncated.

More details and downloads are over at the Wordpress Extend Social Links page.

Can you add an icon for Viddler?
this plugin doesn’t seem to work with Wordpress 2.8
the button \Add\ on the \Social Links\ Tools page doesn’t do anything when clicked on.
The plugin is cutting off the last five digits of my facebook url. Can you expand the length please.
Kareem,
I have a fan site on facebook that I am trying to link, and it’s cutting off the last 4 or 5 numbers. Any suggestions? After facbook.com/ there are 36 characters. Thanks for any help.

Be great if you could add deviantArt and Goodreads links to the next update.
I’ve had the same problem with the plugin conflicting with Alex King’s Popularity Contest plugin — aka the Featured Content area. Any ideas how to fix?
Hi,
I installed your plugin and the Heading visible on my page, but I don’t find the settings dialog under management, what do I make wrong. I’m using WP2.8.1
Best

You should add deviantart.com too..
This is really nice, but I can’t seem to figure out why the icons always roll over into multiple rows. I’d like to have just a single row of icons across my sidebar but, despite adding a #socialLinksContainer { width: 175px; }, it remains the same size….
Thoughts?
I installed Social Links. Been having a hard time getting the icon images to appear. I tried both the auto install and downloading the zip and doing it manually.
Firefox 2 of them show ok. The Linked In icon shows as a text link to my feed. When I set it up on the back end, the Linked In icon shows though.
In Explorer and Chrome it shows as a broken image link, however the url links to feedburner as well.
Any fix?
Thought I had posted, but guess it didn’t take.
I downloaded this and the Linked In Icon doesn’t show, and actually links to my feed rather than my linked in page. Attempted this a few time, uninstalled/reinstalled, etc.
Any fixes?
Please add Reddit to the list

How can I change the Widget Title from “Social Links” into something like: “Contact Betsy on…” so this appears just above the Networking links?
Thanks,
Rick

HI,
Any chance of having sound cloud added to this plugin?
thanks
Hi, I love your addon, just wondering if you plan to have an “open this in a new window” option in your widget options.
If not, can you let me know how I can add a hack to do this as I don’t really want people to navigate away from my page and get stuck into Facebook :p

Thanks for the plugin, it’s just what I was looking for! It’s working in WP 2.8.4 for me by the way. I do have a request: I’m trying to add my facebook page and the URL is chopped off. Can you allow for slightly longer Facebook URLSs?
Just started out on wordpress.org and I am completely lost with this plugin. Cannot not find the management page much less the social links stuff on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
I like your plug in but could you pleas add hyves.nl?
array(22,’hyves.png’,'http://%userid%.hyves.nl/’,'Enter your Hyves username.’,'Hyves’)
Tank you in advanced
There are still problems with the newer version, too. I’m having the same issues that everyone mentioned above. Management page? Social Networking Links? Where are these?
Now I have to uninstall and find another plugin for this.
Kareem’s last post was in June, I’m assuming he’s let us fend for ourselves, LOL!

Hello,
I wanted to request the adding of fwisp.com, a finance & business – related bookmarking site to your list of supported services.
Thanks!
I’m having the same problems as shani, I installed your plugin but it has a conflict with Featured Content Gallery, a slider plugin. Doesn’t seem like many comments here are receiving replies….
I see a google png but not option under management? Why?
Also, can you create a custom button/link? Where would I do that and how?
I have pngs made up and ready to go, would just love to get them into the list there.
Thanks!

What a waste, I left my comment 9 days ago. Thanks for wasting the time of all the people who are trying to use your broken plugin and get nothing but a headache…
Thank you very much for making this!
Small request – could you add Tumblr as a social network?
I can’t seem to find the “management” page or social links either.

Hi there, i love your plugin. Is it possible to use kind of a tag or a codesnippet to show the social links elsewhere than in the sidebar? I just want to add them anywhere on my page.
thank you
Hello,
In WordPress, I don’t see the “Social Links page under Management.” Can you provide more info. I’ve installed but don’t understand how to add my links.
Thanks.

Hello,
Can you add vimeo to the links as well? Also I am using wordpress 2.8.6…I do not see where I can manage the plugin details.
Thanks,

How can we get the links to open in a new window? Thanks.
I was curious how you add the nofollow value to the links. I can’t seem to figure it out.
I like your plugin a lot. Have used it on several WordPress blogs I administer.
Just wanted to give you a head’s up that it appears to have a conflict in 2.9 with the new image editor function in core — that is, the plugin breaks the new feature. Please let me know if you’re able to get it to work with the new version of WP.
I am trying to link a facebook page to my link.

is that possible? I keep trying and it won’t link
Hello -
I have WP 2.9 installed and I can’t seem to get this to work. When I click “Add” it just does nothing. My WP installation is at http://www.hellchick.net/wp/ and my blog main page is http://www.hellchick.net . Any ideas on why this might not be working?
